The Juniper Tree

Oil on canvas · 52 × 62 cm

Based on the dark Brothers Grimm fairy tale of the same name, in which a murdered boy is transformed into a bird that reveals the truth and brings about justice. The story moves between violence, transformation and renewal, exploring the persistence of truth beneath attempts to conceal it. Its unsettling narrative reflects the enduring role of folklore in confronting moral wrongdoing and imagining forms of justice where ordinary means of redress have failed.
